Extension

A Fortify / Hold Regime forms when gate-holders convert captured or inherited advantage into defensibility through boundary hardening, access control, legitimacy framing, and resource-gate stabilization.

Canon Tier

Extension

A Frozen Meta Regime forms when surveillance, policy, institutional pressure, or enforcement density suppresses variance and locks a system into its current strategy pattern.

Extension

Gamified Meta Literacy describes how people trained in games and simulations may develop transferable systems intelligence.

Canon Tier

Extension

A Grid Illumination Regime forms when exposure reveals hidden dependencies, covert structures, accumulated hidden debt, or previously invisible relationships across a system.

Canon Tier

Extension

An Immunity Collapse Regime forms when protected actors receive quiet, asymmetric, delayed, reduced, or non-material accountability, causing legitimacy to collapse later and more severely.

Canon Tier

Extension

An Interface Capture Regime forms when a system controls mediation between unequally aware parties while blocking auditability, boundary integrity, or verification.

Canon Tier

Extension

A Low-Coherence Stable Attractor Regime forms when a system remains stable at a degraded equilibrium because repair roughly equals load but never exceeds it enough to restore true coherence.

Canon Tier

Extension

A Managed Optics Regime forms when a system performs responsibility, transparency, reform, or repair without completing material closure, reducing hidden debt, or changing the structures that produced the failure.

Canon Tier

Extension

A Meta Patch Failure Regime forms when a system refuses, suppresses, misclassifies, or fails to integrate a coherence-increasing strategy, contribution, correction, or alternative meta.

Canon Tier

Extension

A Meta Succession / Churn Regime forms when the rulebook, strategy field, or dominant operating pattern changes too quickly for repair, memory, coordination, or legitimacy to stabilize.

Canon Tier

Extension

Negative-Only Feedback is the regime where a system mostly speaks through consequence.

Canon Tier

Extension

Node–Field Perception Distortion describes a mapping error between distributed field pressure and node-level perception.

Canon Tier

Extension

An Obfuscation Meta Dynamics Regime forms when a system suppresses auditability in order to preserve positional advantage, optimize fitness proxies, and defer repair.

Extension

An Over-Surveillance Regime forms when monitoring density exceeds the system’s interpretive capacity, restorative capacity, proportionality, or ability to convert data into meaningful signal.

Canon Tier

Extension

An Overt Adaptive Coherence Regime forms when a system accepts exposure and stabilizes through repair, feedback, auditability, boundary restoration, and compatibility rather than suppression or optics.

Canon Tier

Extension

An Overt Adaptive Dominance Regime forms when an actor or system maintains strength under exposure through coherence, repair capacity, audit tolerance, compatibility, and adaptive learning rather than concealment.

Canon Tier

Extension

A Proxy Sovereignty Regime forms when a model, system, institution, or agent makes decisions on behalf of another person or collective without revocable consent.
